Subaru car rental in Toronto
Subaru car rental in Toronto starts with one car: the Subaru Crosstrek, a five-seat all-wheel-drive crossover with a 2.0 L engine and 152 hp, from C$ 70 a day. We deliver it to any address in Toronto and to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM).

Booking Subaru car rental in Toronto with a manager
What the manager settles before the keys change hands
- Delivery slot: the address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, so the car arrives where you actually are.
- Fuel: the car comes clean with a full tank and must go back full; the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are then charged as set out in the rental agreement.
- Payment and territory: the cards accepted and any limit on where the car may be driven are agreed when booking.
Documents a driver needs in Ontario
If you are visiting Ontario for less than 3 months, you can drive on a valid driver's licence from your own province, state or country. Stay longer than 3 months as a visitor from another country and you need an International Driver's Permit (IDP) from your own country — it cannot be issued in Canada, so arrange it before you fly. The minimum driving age under Ontario law is 16, and the driver must carry insurance for the car plus the original or an exact copy of the ownership permit.
How the rate is calculated
| Booking length | How it is calculated | Price |
|---|---|---|
| One day | Daily rate | C$ 70 |
| One week | Daily rate × 6 | from C$ 420 |
| One month | Daily rate × 21 | from C$ 1,470 |
The page carries one car — the Subaru Crosstrek, a Crossover with 5 seats, Petrol, Automatic and All-wheel drive — so the Crossover line is the whole range here.
Driving out of the city and across the border
Most cars rented in Canada can be taken across the border, but only with permission from the specific rental location, and some classes are excluded; driving out without written permission breaks the agreement and the insurance. On the way back, a passport is what the border asks for. Closer to home, winter tyres are not mandatory in Ontario, though Quebec requires them from 1 December to 15 March for cars registered there — a rule that does not touch a car on Ontario plates.
Delivery for your Subaru car rental in Toronto
The car comes to you. Rent-Trip delivers to any address in Toronto and to the three airports that serve the region, and the address, the date and the time are fixed with a manager before the booking is confirmed. Nothing about the hand-over is left to guesswork on the day.
Where we bring the car
- John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM): the third airport in the delivery area, useful for travellers whose flight lands further west.
- Union Station, Downtown Toronto, Mississauga, North York, Scarborough and Vaughan: all of these sit inside the delivery area, so the car can meet you there too.
Delivery outside these places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — ask the manager and you will get a straight answer rather than a hopeful one.
Fixing the delivery slot before you land
Build in a buffer around your flight: a landing time is not a hand-over time, and a delayed arrival or a slow baggage belt pushes everything back. If your plans move, tell the manager as early as you can — a slot is easier to shift than to recreate at short notice. The car arrives clean and with a full tank, so you can drive away without hunting for a petrol station first.
Fuel and the return
The Subaru Crosstrek runs on regular petrol, and the fuel rule is full-to-full: the car is supplied with a full tank and must come back with one. Miss that, and the missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
Driving out of the city
Two things to settle before you point the car north or east. Winter tyres are not mandatory in Ontario, but in Quebec they are compulsory from 1 December to 15 March for vehicles registered in Quebec, including rental cars, with a fine of C$200–300; cars on plates from other provinces are not covered by that rule. And if the plan includes crossing into the United States, most cars rented in Canada can go, but only with permission from the rental point — driving across without written approval breaches the agreement and the insurance. Carry your passport for the border and raise the trip when you book, not at the wheel.
Tolls, tyres and rules for Subaru car rental in Toronto
The Subaru Crosstrek is a forgiving car to drive, but the paperwork and the road rules around it are what catch people out.
The 407 ETR is a toll road with no booths, and cameras read your plate. Rates for light vehicles in 2026 run from 49.93¢ to 119.21¢ per kilometre depending on the zone and the time you enter, plus a C$1 trip toll charge. Who covers tolls, congestion charges and penalty notices on a hired car is agreed when booking — settle it before you set off rather than after the bill arrives.
Winter tyres, and where the law changes
Cross into Quebec and the rule flips: winter tyres are required there from 1 December to 15 March for cars registered in Quebec, hired vehicles included, with a fine of C$200–300. Cars plated in other provinces are not covered by that rule. All-wheel drive gets you moving on snow and slush, but the rubber is what stops you — ask about the tyre set when you book, especially for a January or February trip.
Taking the car across the border
Most cars hired in Canada can be driven into the United States, but only with permission from the specific location, and some classes — exotics, large vans — are excluded. Driving across without written permission breaks the agreement and voids the insurance. Carry your passport at the crossing.
Fuel, distance and the return
The Crosstrek takes regular petrol, around C$1.75 per litre in October 2026, and the tank comes full and goes back full. Miss that and the missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the agreement.
Day trips that suit a Subaru car rental in Toronto
A Subaru car rental in Toronto earns its keep outside the city limits. All-wheel drive, 152 hp and a 5-seat cabin are exactly what the weekend routes out of town ask for, and the car comes to your address before you set off.
Tolls and border crossings on a day trip
Light vehicles pay from 49.93¢ to 119.21¢ per km depending on the zone and the time you enter, plus a C$1 trip toll charge; without a transponder the camera charge is C$5.30 per trip and C$5 a month as an account fee. Who settles road charges on the car is agreed when booking, so raise it before you leave rather than after the bill arrives.
Crossing an international border is possible on most cars hired in Canada, but only with permission from the rental location, and the restriction bites on exotic classes and large vans rather than on a crossover. Without written permission the trip breaks the agreement and the insurance with it, and you need a passport at the border.
Winter tyres and where the rules change
Ontario does not require winter tyres, so the set on your car is worth asking about when booking rather than discovering on the first cold morning. Quebec does require them from 1 December to 15 March for vehicles registered there, rental cars included, with a fine of C$200 to C$300 — a car on Ontario plates is outside that rule, which matters if a Montreal run is on your list.
What to check in the Subaru car rental in Toronto agreement
Read them before the car arrives, not after.
Territory, drivers and the deposit
- Territory: where the Crosstrek may be driven is settled at the time of booking — a trip south of the border needs written permission from the rental point, and crossing without it voids both the contract and the cover.
- Deposit and excess: the security sum and the insurance excess are set out in the rental agreement, never quoted as a number on this page.
- Fuel clause: full-to-full is the only option offered — the tank comes full, goes back full, and the missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee are then charged as set out in the agreement.
Documents to have with you
A visitor from another province, state or country who stays less than 3 months drives on a valid licence from home; a visitor from another country staying longer needs an International Driver's Permit (IDP) from their own country, which cannot be issued in Canada.
Longer stays on a Subaru car rental in Toronto
A month on the road changes which line of the price list matters.
When the monthly rate earns its place
Anyone planning repeated runs to Ottawa or Montreal should price the month against the days they actually need before deciding.
Returning the car and settling up
Tolls, camera charges and penalty notices on the car are agreed when booking, so raise the 407 ETR question before you set off rather than after the bill arrives.
